Palworld Trading Card Game

Palworld Trading Card Game, a physical card game based on the hit survival video game Palworld, launched on July 30, 2026, with development support from Bushiroad. Its first expansion, Dawn of the Palagos, released on the same day and was a massive commercial success, selling over 3.5 million cards and fetching high resale prices. In gameplay, players use a 50-card main deck and a separate soul deck, starting each match with a round of rock-paper-scissors to determine who goes first. Players spend souls to summon Pals, which can attack opponents or defend, and combat relies on power values and a "strike" mechanic where flipping a lucky card can negate damage—with players starting at 10 points and losing if they hit zero. Beyond Pals, the game features Event, Gear, and Structure cards that provide temporary effects, buffs, or strategic defensive options.
